We didn't get to choose the name, though it fits her perfectly. She's a guide dog for my wife. I like how she got her name, though. At the place she was born and trained at with my SO, when the parents produce a litter, the litter is designated a letter from the alphabet, and the names of every puppy from that litter starts with that name. Her litter had Willa, Walter, Winona, Wendy, Wagner, etc. You get the idea.

Also as long as that guide is active, no other dog can have that name. When they retire or pass away, the name gets freed up for another dog to use. So when she retires, a new puppy will be named Willa, and if she passes the training, she'll be active and no-other active guide can have that name.

We had a Shiba-Inu named Kato. Most think it's a reference to the comics character from the Green Hornet, but we got her when the OJ Simpson thing was going on and I insisted on it because I heard the attorney's name so often and thought it was cool.

The black lab on the left is Luxo (from Pixar's Luxo Jr. because he hops around like the lamp when he's excited), he's a 3 year old rescue. My yellow lab on the right is Ender (from Ender's Game), and he's a 6 year old pain in the ass. I've had him since he was born and he's spoiled.
